With the beginning of the season upon us I would like to talk about season predictions using series of calculations to attempt to predict a players success. Technology has had such an advantage on the players who play in this age compared to previous generations. The use of computers to baseball has a huge impact, calculating players pros cons using computer software, creating charts and graphs on where players tend to hit the baseball as well as pitchers habits when they pitch. 

Older players who did not have the access to technology like today did not have the same advantage that players have today. They were not able to get years of scouting reports on hitters/pitchers, they had to just play the game and figure it out on there own with the little amount of outside help they had. Newer equiptment has helped decrease the injury rate as well as the facilities the players play at are unreal. For example the Arizona Diamondbacks have a pool behind the center field wall. 

Or the slide that is mounted at the Milwaukee Brewers Stadium. And the retractable roof.
